It has always been about the music – the delight, the exposure to variety, and the opportunity for expression

Monthly Archives: January 2015

These upcoming months look to be so exciting! My 2015 performance season begins this Sunday afternoon as I join with other local performers for the annual Loyola Marymount University Concert of Music for Children. This is always an inspiring time to present some favorite childhood fairy tales and fables by the LMU department of Music, the Sinatra Opera Workshop, and the Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company.

Then next week I’ll be giving a solo recital in New York City. I’m honored to have been invited to perform at the home of Susan and Charles Avery Fisher in Manhattan as part of the iPalpiti Musicales Recital Series.

Coming in February will be a solo recital in West Los Angeles as part of the Gateway Performance Series. The diverse program will include pieces ranging from Bach to a premiere by Los Angeles Composer Adam Borecki.

On a more personal note, then in March I’m humbled to be traveling to Asia on a trip with my father and a small team to serve needs in India, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Peninsula Committee Los Angeles Philharmonic is proud to announce that its community outreach program, Music in the Garden, will be held on Sunday, March 1, 2015 at South Coast Botanic Garden from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. Featuring student musicians from the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the South Bay, the program is designed to create public audiences for young musicians and to showcase the music programs of area schools. Coinciding with the Cherry Blossom Festival that weekend at the Garden, Music in the Garden is reminiscent of the old Music Fair which was put on by the Committee from 1972 to 2008. The popular Music Mobile van will be on display and will feature hands-on demonstrations of orchestra instruments. Face painters, strolling musicians and a food truck will add to the festivities.
The schools that will be participating this year are:

Narbonne High School, Lomita
Palos Verdes High School
Palos Verdes Intermediate School
Peninsula High School
Ridgecrest Intermediate School
Rolling Hills Prep and Renaissance Schools
South High School, Torrance

Proceeds from Music in the Garden will benefit youth music education. Our continuing successful youth and community outreach programs include:

Music Mobile-Hands-on introduction to the music instruments of a symphony orchestra for 3rd graders in 23 Peninsula and South Bay schools

Norris Theatre-Yearly performances of live music for all PVPUSD 5th grade students
